Treatment
The infection typically resolves on its own and is not usually treated with antibiotics. Severe symptoms may respond to treatment with antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin and azithromycin.
Self-care measures to avoid dehydration include drinking electrolyte solutions to replace the fluids lost by diarrhea. People with diarrhea, especially children, who are unable to take fluids orally because of nausea may need medical attention and intravenous fluids.
People taking diuretics need to be cautious with diarrhea and may need to stop taking the diuretic during the acute episode, as directed by the health care provider.
